Video: Magpul Adds 60-Round Drum Magazine to Roster

With around a week until the 2015 SHOT Show, Magpul has let the cat out of the bag for its big product announcement.

The Wyoming firearm accessories manufacturer dropped a video earlier this week showcasing it’s new Pmag D60 – a 60-round drum magazine. Check out the above video to see the polymer beast go through its paces on a number of different firearms.

Historically, drum magazines are temperamental, but Magpul has added a few twists to the D60 that look to defuse some common problems. The company has included a quick-release backplate on the drum for on-the-fly maintenance. And it has a loading lever to aid juicing the magazine in a more timely fashion.

The D60 has a couple other unique features, such as a full magazine indication window, compatibility with a wide spectrum of firearms and last-round bolt hold open. While the MSRP was not listed on the Magpul website, it has been reported the list price will be $129.95 and it will ship this summer.
